The Von Trapp Villa was quiet. The only sound to be heard was the ticking of the grandfather clock in the hall. Pale moonlight lit the rooms, and the house was an image of peace. The only movement was a young woman tip-toeing her way down the main staircase. Her bare feet made no sound on the floor and that is what she wanted. The last thing she wanted or needed was to be caught.
She turned the last corner and entered the kitchen. She crept over to the light switch and turned it on. She squinted as her eyes adjusted to the bright light. She looked around the kitchen and was content to find she was the only one there.
Maria was never one for midnight snacks, or for even still being awake at midnight, but tonight she couldn't help it. She made her way over to the fridge and began rummaging around for some food. She found a container of ice-cream and decided that it would have to do. She grabbed a spoon and began eating. As she ate the cold treat she began to think.
She couldn't believe how lucky she was to be here, in this house with this wonderful family. She felt so loved. She had a purpose; a reason to jump out of bed every morning with a smile on her face, a reason to sing and dance and laugh and play.
Then there were the children. She loved them all as her own, and adored their enthusiastic natures. The way they would rush into her room of a morning just to say hello, or be the first one to give her a hug. She giggled at this and finished the last of the ice-cream.
She was still hungry, which surprised her, so she began searching for more food. As she was searching through the pantry a pair of hands encircled her waist and spun her round. She was about to scream when a pair of lips came down on her own silencing her. When she opened her eyes she saw the Captain looking down at her with an amused smile on her face.
"A midnight snack Fraulein hmm?"
He chuckled as Maria tried to say something to defend herself.
"The ice-cream not enough?" she blushed crimson causing him to smirk. "Tell me Fraulein were you going to raid the entire kitchen and then pretend in the morning that you had no idea where the food went?"
"Well in all fairness Captain, you are partly to blame for my ever growing appetite." She added with a laugh.
He kissed her forehead, making her smile, and began to rub her enlarged belly. "You know I only tease my dear. Now tell me my darling wife, are you still hungry?"
Maria raised her eyebrows and slowly nodded her head.
"Well I think I have the perfect way to, how shall I say, sate your hunger."
With that he scooped her up and carried her to their bedroom, where they both managed to sate their hunger in the most pleasant of ways.
